The Fay School campus holds a unique kind of magic for our students and their families. Guests talk about ‘that feeling’ they have during their first visit: the delight at discovering the 8.5-acre green gem behind our gates and the peace they experience watching students happily transition from classroom to nature and back again.

Our campus is far more than just a pretty face. The academic setting that Fay provides supports our student-focused objectives by creating a safe space to explore and grow both internally and externally. Context impacts learning and the Fay learning environment is unparalleled in our city.

THE FAY SCHOOL is a nonsectarian, not-for-profit, co-educational school in which children of diverse talents and backgrounds with strong academic abilities are offered a high-quality education in a secure, enriching and academically challenging environment. Here children learn and grow intellectually, physically, socially, ethically, and artistically while developing self-confidence and a lifelong love of learning through an active partnership among educators, parents, and students.
